I’d never considered the prospect that some people might cheat at playing Helldivers 2. But I suppose it’s inevitable given some people will find ways to cheat at anything. In this case, rogue Helldivers have found ways to game super credits—the premium currency used to buy Warbonds—to earn them at impossible rates, and it’s become such a problem that Arrowhead has implemented new ways to tackle it.”You’ve told us that cheaters and exploiters ruin the experience that it feels unfair when someone games the super credit system while you’re out there earning yours the hard way,” Arrowhead wrote in a Steam post. “We heard you, and we’re starting to implement changes that will tackle issues like this.”Arrowhead only explains these changes in the broadest terms, stating they include “improving our monitoring methods for suspicious super credit activity.” Basically, if Arrowhead sees a player earning credits “at an unreasonably high rate” there are “now steps in place to counter this.”The developer stresses that players who earn super credits the traditional way—grinding maps, clearing POIs, looting bunkers etc “will never experience any change”. Instead, the system is targeted at “Cheaters. Botters. People using automation and duplication exploits to hoover up super credits at rates no human Helldiver could ever reach legitimately.”Ultimately, Arrowhead claims that “A healthier economy means the super credits you earn through honest service to Super Earth stay worth earning”. This could be a joke, but it is a slightly odd way to frame the solution in any case given…
